Apple sets Oct 23 event for expected iPad Mini launch
Published on Oct 17, 2012 12:51 AM
SAN FRANCISCO (REUTERS) - Apple will host an event next week in what is expected to be the unveiling of a smaller iPad, venturing into a market staked out well in advance by rivals Amazon.com and Google.
The invitation-only event will be held on Oct 23 at the California Theatre in San Jose, California, the company said on Tuesday.
Apple's invitation did not reveal details of the event, but hinted at something small with the words: "We've got a little more to show you."
Apple launches are some of the hottest events on the tech calendar, scrutinised by fans, investors, the media and industry insiders alike.

Robo Cop becoming a crime fighting reality as police drones take to the sky
The world of 'Robo-Cop' is coming closer, as unmanned drones are about to be deployed by cops in cities across the world including New York, the NYPD confirmed today.
The eye in the sky has brought 'Big Brother' and CCTV into new realms as the NYPD prepare to introduce the spy in the sky over crime hotspots.
The devices which are used in war zones to execute and kill insurgents, and now will have the same capacity, but it's understood that it will only be used as a camera spy and will not be called upon to utilize its laser sharp killing capacity.
The NYPD described it as a valuable weapon against crime but privacy advocates are concerned that it is the thin end of the wedge and will ultimately result in a 'Robo-Cop' world, with drones being directed to shoot by officers at a police base, operating the machines remotely just as the military currently do.
The force says that it has yet to deploy drones full-time but said that it was checking out all options and see it as particularly useful to the fire department.
They're looking at "what's on the market, what's available", the NYPD's head of intelligence told the New York Daily News.
Drones were tested in a high crime area, Brownsville, Brooklyn in 2011, and were used to detect gun fire and then direct officers to the spot where the guns were discharged.
Funds to test it further have already been allocated to the tune of €500,000 and it seems that it is only a matter of time before they become part of the city's skyline.
Officers are hoping that the drone could not only identify the gunshot locations but also photograph the shooters from a mile high in the sky.
Up to 70% of gunshot incidents go unreported, the force explained.
Chicago, Miami and Boston already use them but warrants are required to film backyards and into homes in Miami.
Privacy group, the Civil Liberties Union said that while "drone can be useful in law enforcement but should not become a vehicle for widespread secret surveillance of the private space of innocent New Yorkers", the Daily News reported.

5 Breakout Stocks to Leverage the Rally
Juniper Networks
One notable thing about this week's technical trading opportunities is just how similar many of them look. By and large, we're looking at stocks that are threatening to break out after bottoming early in October. Part of that is thanks to the excessively high correlations that continue to keep asset classes in lockstep with one another.
A perfect example of that is Juniper Networks (JNPR - Get Report), the $12 billion IT networking firm.
Juniper bottomed at the start of October, signaling a reversal with the bullish engulfing candle that thrust shares back to the $18 level. This stock has seen strong resistance at $22 since early August -- and that level finally got tested again yesterday. Positive continuation this morning would generate a buyable signal for shares.
The major gap in Juniper from July essentially opens up a pretty large void where shares haven't changed hands - that opens up the upside for a more significant price target just shy of $30 for swing traders. On that trade, I'd suggest placing a protective stop just below the 50-day moving average. Juniper, recently featured in " 5 Tech Stocks Poised For Big Earnings Moves," was one of Goldman Sachs' Best Tech Stocks for 2011.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

You Don't Really Want To Live In This Shiny Retrofuturistic City
We love the look of retrofuturistic cities — the clean cut skylines, the beautifully-turned metalwork, the occasionally almost gravity defying twists and turns of the architecture. But what would it really be like to live in one of them? Possibly quite nightmarish, it turns out.

On August 24, the community is invited to help celebrate another milestone in the life of the historic church, and Pastor Fletcher Moorman called it "big and nice."
According to Pam Lee, who teaches two and three-year-old Sunday school at the church, the new addition to the church is exciting.
"I'm excited on so many levels," Lee said. "We've added new Sunday school classes that were really needed."
Lee said on August 24, following regular service, the start of the dedication program is set for 3 p.m. with an open house following at 4 p.m.
Carrollton Baptist is one of the oldest churches in North Mississippi and was organized in August 1833 as Bethel Baptist Church. The name Carrollton Baptist was changed after the move to Carrollton from Coila. The present building was built in 1894.
According to Lee, this is the third annex the church has done in recent history. One section was added to the church in 1959, and in 1978, an upper level was added.
The new education annex costs close to $1 million, consists of new state of the art educational space, restrooms, a fellowship hall, and a state-of-the-art kitchen that will be connected to the church.
Rozier Construction Company completed the construction of the complex.
"The dedication for the new building falls on the same day the church was formed," Lee said.
Lee said the dedication service will likely include different people coming to speak and pray, including former pastors.
"Refreshments will also be served," Lee said. "This will just be a worshipful and thankful time."

Yushan (Jade Mountain) | |||||||||||||||||
Chinese | 玉山 | ||||||||||||||||
Postal Map | Mount Morrison | ||||||||||||||||
Yushan (Chinese: 玉山; pinyin: Yù Shān; literally: "Jade Mountain"), also Mount Yu is the highest mountain in Taiwan and the fourth highest mountain on an island. In the past, Yushan was known among English-speaking expats and missionaries as Mount Morrison, thought to have been named in honor of the 19th century missionary Robert Morrison. Today, the mountain is referred to as Yushan or Jade Mountain.
In the winter, Yushan is often capped with thick snow which makes the entire peak shine like stainless jade, hence its name. On July 21, 2009, Yushan was elected one of 28 finalists in the New7Wonders of Nature voting campaign. It even had held the top position in the "Mountains and Volcanoes" category on the list of first round voting of the 77 nominees ended on July 7, 2009.
Yushan and surrounding mountains belong to Yushan Range, which is part of Yushan National Park. The national park is Taiwan's largest, highest and least accessible national park. It contains the largest tract of wilderness remaining in Taiwan and is also valued for its pristine forests and faunal diversity, including many endemic species.
The highest point of Yushan Range, Yushan, is 3,952 metres (12,966 ft) above sea level, and is the highest point in the western Pacific region outside of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Yushan was once in the ocean and raised to the current height because the Eurasian Plate slid under the neighboring Philippine Sea Plate.
The ocean waters off Taiwan's east coast are deep; in fact, submarine slopes plunge down to the Pacific Ocean at a grade of 1:10 and the ocean reaches a depth of more than 4,000 metres (13,100 ft) about 50 kilometres (30 mi) from the coast.[1]
Geography and geology[edit]
The island of Taiwan is situated at the intersection of two tectonic plates – the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate. Even as "recently" as the late Paleozoic (some 250 million years ago), the land here was still but a sedimentary seabed layered with silt and sand. As the two plates began pressing against each other, the land buckled, bent, and created the landscape – 165 mountains higher than 3,000 m (9,800 ft) above sea level on a small island (38th in the world).
Yushan is also notable in containing the highest point on the Tropic of Cancer and the only point on that circle of latitude where there is any evidence of Quaternary glaciation.[2] As recently as seventeen thousand years ago, permanent ice caps existed throughout Taiwan's highest mountains and extended owing to the wet climate down to 2,800 metres (9,190 ft); whereas currently the nearest glaciers to the Tropic of Cancer are in Mexico on the Iztaccíhuatl volcano.
With panoramic views, overlapping mountains, and deep, plunging valleys, Yushan National Park is well known for its scenery, sunrises, sunsets, geological features, and views of the clouds from above. Sea of clouds (Traditional Chinese: 雲海, Pinyin: yúnhǎi) often fill the valleys. Indisputably, Yushan itself is the focal point of the Park.
Yushan is one of the favorites among Taiwanese mountain climbers. International peak baggers often combine a trip to Yushan along with trips to Gunung Kinabalu and Fuji to form an "Asian Trilogy" hiking experience.[3]
Yushan has five main peaks with the Main Peak being the most popular:
- Yushan Main Peak (玉山主峰), 3,952 m (12,966 ft)
- Yushan Eastern Peak (玉山東峰), 3,869 m (12,694 ft) – 1.2 kilometres (0.7 mi) from Main Peak
- Yushan Northern Peak (玉山北峰), 3,858 m (12,657 ft) – 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) from Wind Tunnel (風口)
- Yushan Southern Peak (玉山南峰), 3,844 m (12,612 ft) – 3.1 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Paiyun Lodge (排雲山莊)
- Yushan Western Peak (玉山西峰), 3,467 m (11,375 ft) – 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from Paiyun Lodge (排雲山莊)
East, west, north, and south peaks surround the main summit. The east peak rises to a height of 3,869 m (12,694 ft) and is considered one of Taiwan's Ten Major Summits (十峻). The south peak is a sharp pinnacle of black shale. The relatively accessible west side of Yushan is covered with thick forests. The north peak is part of a long, gently-rising ridge; this peak consists of two high points that resemble a camel's humps. The North Peak is also home to Taiwan's highest permanently occupied building, the Yushan Weather Station, where the occasional visitors are given a warm welcome.
Flora and fauna[edit]
Taiwan, with the tropic of Cancer across the center of the island, has a climate between tropical and subtropical. The average temperature is 23.5 °C (74.3 °F) Here low elevation areas support evergreen broadleaved forests. As elevation increases, evergreen broadleaved forests are gradually replaced by deciduous forests and coniferous forests. At mountain peaks with alpine conditions, only mosses, liverworts and occasionally grasses can be found on the ground.[4]
All of the above vegetation variations can be seen in the Yushan area from low foothills to high summits with an elevation difference of 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi). Because this wide climatic and vegetation variations, this environment nurtures the richest and most diversified wildlife in Taiwan. Preliminary investigations reveal that there are 130 species of birds, 28 species of mammals, 17 species of reptiles, 12 species of amphibians and 186 species of butterflies in Yushan National Park. In fact, Yushan is nicknamed "the ark" by academics who see it as a repository of Taiwan's rare species. It is almost an encyclopedia of Taiwan's ecological systems, a geological museum and an important habitat of one-third of Taiwan's endemic species, such as:
- Formosan Serow (台灣長鬃山羊)
- Reeves's Muntjac (台灣山羌)
- Formosan Black Bear (台灣黑熊)
- Formosan Blue Magpie (台灣藍鵲)
- Formosan Rock Macaque (台灣獼猴)
- Hemimyzon taitungensis (台東間爬岩鰍) and Varicorhinus tamusuiensis (Oshima) – Two unique fish species living in the Lekuleku River area.
Jade Mountain was first observed by westerners in 1857. W. Morrison, captain of the American freighter SS Alexander, sighted this mountain while departing from Anping Harbor, in what is now Anping, Tainan. He recorded this sighting in his naval log, and the mountain gained the name Mount Morrison in western literature.
In 1900, after the annexation of Taiwan by the Japanese, two Japanese anthropologists, Torii Ryūzō and Mori Ushinosuke, became the first people to have been recorded ascending the mountain. They gave the mountain the name Niitakayama (新 高 山) or Mount Niitaka, literally the "New High Mountain", because it was even higher than Mount Fuji in Japan (was Empire of Japan) by 176 metres (577 ft). In 1937, Niitakayama was designated part of the Niitaka (New Highest) Arisan National Park (新高阿里山国立公園).
Under its Japanese name, the mountain was used as the secret code to signal the carrier fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy to begin its attack against Pearl Harbor. The code was Niitakayama Nobore (literally "Climb the New High Mountain").[5]
In 1966 a large bronze statue of Yu Youren was placed at the summit. The statue remained there until 1996 when it was cut down and thrown into a ravine by Taiwan independence activists.[6]
In recent years, Yushan has played an important role in a new focus on Taiwan's identity. Because its iconic status, Yushan has been chosen to be the background of the newly issued NT $1,000 dollar bills on July 20, 2005.[7] Similarly, a newly found asteroid by Lulin Observatory of National Central University was named after Yushan on December 28, 2007.[8]
Yushan has an alpine climate (Köppen ET). The tip of Yushan is usually covered with frost from November to March. Elevations above 2,000 meters may sometimes snow during the winter months, and there are four consecutive months of snow accumulation at places with elevations higher than 3000 meters. The first snow may appear in October and completely melts by May. Snow falls 24.3 days per year on average on Yushan, and the number is gradually decreasing. Yushan receives around 3,600 mm annually. It rains an average of 140 days per year, mostly between May and August. From May until the first part of June is plum rain season or monsoon season. Taiwan's typhoon season roughly falls between July and September. The peak month is in August. Overall speaking, summers are wet and winters relatively dry in Yushan.

Notational Velocity
Full user review
"Simple, Easy-To-Use, and Syncs with iPhone"
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I use Notational Velocity for storing quick notes and references on my Mac. Paired with the application's ability to sync with SimpleNote (simplenoteapp.com) for the web and iPhone, this is a fantastic little application.
This application does EXACTLY what it promises. The philosophy of building an application that does a few things really well is exemplified in Notational Velocity.
If you need a convenient place to store text messages this is the application for you. The ability to sync notes to SimpleNote means that the notes you enter on your Mac are immediately available on the simplenoteapp.com Website and on your iPhone (and vice-versa).

With all the problems, the Steelers decide to address punting!? I'm sorry....sometimes you just have to laugh!
Should have signed Chris Kluwe. Get a legit punter, not another cast off.
Shouldn't that be MESS CO. ???
The proof is in the punting.
Narcissistic injury is the term used for any threat to a narcissist's outsized ego or self-esteem.
I think Butler's issue was consistency on his hang time.
The "Optimistic" Offseason:
Taylor, Polamalu, Keisel, & Harrison - Retire
Cortez Allen & Shamarko Thomas - Steelers Believe They Are Starters
Cut - C Thomas & L Moore
Re-Sign Blake, McCain, Golden, W Johnson, & Moats
Re-Sign Worilds ($6 Mil Avg) OR Sign Derrick Morgan/Jabaal Sheard/Brandon Graham/Pernell McPhee
2015 Draft:
1st Danny Shelton NT
2nd Eli Harold OLB
3rd Jacoby Glenn CB
4th Jesse James TE
5th Matt Jones RB
6a James Sample S
6b Ray Drew DE
7th Kaelin Clay WR
Butler was near the bottom of the league in most stats last year, and apparently the Steelers believed that he got worse in the cold weather.
Add to it that his father was bashing the Steelers on twitter, it appears that Drew Butler will be moving on with his life's work (or another NFL franchise).

Aside from training, nutrition may be the most important influence on athletic performance.1 However, in seeking a competitive edge, athletes are often susceptible to fad diets or supplements that have not been scientifically validated. Nevertheless, there is much useful research to guide the exerciser toward optimum health and performance.
Many athletes use exercise and weight-modifying diets as tools to change their body composition, assuming that a lower percentage of body fat and/or higher lean body mass is desirable in any sport. There is no single standard for body weight and body composition that applies to all types of athletic activities. Different sports, even different roles in the same sport (e.g., running vs. blocking in football), require different body types. These body types are largely determined by genetics. However, within each athlete's genetic predisposition, variations result from diet and exercise that may affect performance. In general, excess weight is a disadvantage in activities that require quickness and speed. However, brief, intense bursts of power depend partly on muscle size, so this type of activity may favor athletes with greater muscle mass. On the other hand, participants in endurance sports, which require larger energy reserves, should not attempt to lower their body fat so much as to compromise their performance.2

Default font is not what i selected, cant get it to change back.
Hey all,
I am new to the forums so please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong place. My co-worker has been having an issue for the last 3 weeks or so. He says every time he opens Word or Outlook, it's in a strange font similar to Britannic Bold, not the original times new roman, he had set as default. He says it only happens in those 2 programs. With Word, it happens when he opens a new blank document, but does not effect any previously created documents. Oddly enough, even the "styles" have been changed into this font. With Outlook, it changes most (but not all) new incoming messages to be typed out in said format. However it does not appear to be effecting any old messages. I have tried a reboot x2, as well as setting the default font both in word directly, and on the windows system, via the control panel and fonts. Neither of these had any effects. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you |

Hello MellieD,
Deleting of Normal.dot* file should help in this case. Because after you delete such file, Word will recreate a default one. (Backup the old one, just in case). (Some versions of Outlook partially use Word's code and files). But because you did not specified versions of your software and operation system I can only refer you to this article, which explaines what is NORMAL template and where to find it in different versions of Office. Word Articles: Word's Normal Template If you would like more specific help, please provide us with software versions. |

Thank you for info. I was more curios about Office version, but let's assume that we are talking about Office 2007 or Office 2010 English version. If those are work computers, I hope that Admin didn't change templates folder for Office.
So, here are the steps I would do: 1) Exit Word and Outlook 2) Copy & Paste the following line into search bar of Start menu (or address bar of Explorer) and press Enter Code:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Templates 4) Copy them to another folder like Documents for backup purposes 5) Delete originals in that Templates folder. Now Word will recreate those files on next start. |

Great pants
These pants fit very well. They were true to their size and they can worn casually or semi-formal in case you need to dress a littler fancier.

Similar to the Photographer chinos
Decent pair of chinos, fits very similar to the photographer. Not really tapered at the bottom as suggested. Compared these to my photographer chinos (straight leg) and the bottoms are the same width. Not as tapered as I would hope it to be.

good and stylish, great for work and casual outings

It's a nice pair of pants to wear to mix things up rather than khakis or jeans everyday.

I've got a gallon experimental batch going with juice and a can of concentrate, starting gravity 1.062. It's been fermenting about three weeks. I've got tea bags and an acid blend sitting around and I'm interested in trying this out. Is there any reason I shouldn't add in some tannins or acids when I rack it to secondary? I'd probably create the mixture and then put it in the oven at 175 or 200*F to pasteurize it without boiling, then cool it to temperature and toss it in...
Sounds good, as long as you are sure that you pasteurized the acid and tea mixture, I wouldn't know how much acid blend though, I've never used it myself.

Ford Explorer Mercury Mountaineer 2005 and earlier
mscottc1 Posts: 7yes, if a person wants any NEW vehicle I say leasing is a good idea, just from the standpoint of having the protection on your investment there. If you have equity at the end (HAHAHA!) just trade it in on the next one (or keep it)- if you don't have equity at the end, as usual, just walk away and get another one, laughing all the way to the bank. By the way, the new 06 Explorers are going to lease a lot better- residuals are up 5-8 pts across the model range on Explorers & Ford is offering some enticing rates too.
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,364I said "can" because it really does depend on your circumstances -- I don't do it even though I'm probably eligible for some tax breaks because, even with all our helpful calculators, I don't understand the math. So I just keep driving the same car until it's worn out.

fitguy Posts: 222Yes- it was employee pricing plus the $4000 rebate for a total of just over $9800 off MSRP. There also was an additional $1000 cash back on a purchase if you financed through Ford Credit; the rate was on the high side though. I tried to get the $1000 applied to my lease but they wouldn't do it, not applicable to leases, only purchases. The dealers really need to unload th '05's; mine had a fair number of '06's on the lot already.

jefferyg Posts: 418It's really all a matter of your credit rating. You're going to have to have an "A" rating to get the no-interest financing. Moreover, If you have a score above 750, you should be able to get 5.9% for 60 or perhaps even 72 months from Ford Credit or any other company with a $5000 rebate on an '05 Explorer. The $5000 will more than pay the interest.
Let's say you purchase the vehicle for $30K before any rebates. If you take the no-interest financing it will cost you $30K regardless of the term. However, if you applied the cash back and financed $25K for 72 months your payment will be $3 less, and the total cost of financing is $29,746. You just saved $250.
Another point to make is that if you take the same scenario and pay the extra $3 each month toward the principle on the loan, you will likely save yourself two or maybe even three payments at the end. That's another savings of at least $600.
Moral of the story - Always do the math! -
nvbanker Posts: 7,285According to the Wall Street Journal today, Bridgestone will pay Ford $240 million to settle a dispute related to tire recalls on the 2000 - 2001 Explorers.... What does that tell ya? NHTSA cleared Ford for the rollover issues years ago, but people still blame the car, not the tire, despite the fact that no Explorers with other tire brands on them, rolled.
fsmmcsi Posts: 792All true, but you also have a debt obligation which could affect your ability to purchase real estate.
The 2007 GM Yukon and Tahoe with the 5.3 V8 with DOD achieve the same fuel mileage as the 2006 Explorer. I wonder how many people will go with the larger vehicles? Why does Ford not have DOD on their V8s? -
fsmmcsi Posts: 792The HEMI with DOD has been out for more than 1.5 years with no reports of problems, and the new GM V8s with DOD are out and no problems have yet been reported. Of course, both are pushrod engines with one camshaft in the block, so the mechanical things needed to implement it were very easy.
Unless Ford has some other way to achieve better mileage, I don't see how they can afford not to offer it on their V8s.
The old Cadillac system had two main flaws: relatively primative elctronics, and the 6 cylinder mode, which shook like crazy because it was not balanced. -
jefferyg Posts: 418I believe one of the solutions you will see out of many companies is what Honda is already doing with the Accord - offering a hybrid engine where the electric motor give a "boost" when you need it. Check out the specs on the '05 Accord. The Hybrid produces 10 more horses that the regular V6.
The biggest problems I see with this application in SUV's are #1 cost - you have to drive a lot of miles for a hybrid to pay for itself, and #2 cargo volume. The Accord Hybrid's trunk is smaller than its gas-only conterparts b/c of the battery pack.
Most people who buy an SUV are making a compromise. They will accept sub-par mileage for the extra room for all their kids and stuff. That's the reason we bought our Mountaineer. As hybrid technology become smarter, smaller, and CHEAPER, I believe we will see a lot more of it. And don't give me the "throaty V8" junk. How many soccer moms do you know with flowmasters on their SUV's. -
explorerx4 Central CTPosts: 10,001the explorer/mountaineer v8 has always had the 'thoaty v8' sound. you don't need flowmasters. when i am picking my kids up and i can see them, but they can't see me, all i do is start the engine, and they know right where to find me.
i think the new 3v v8 has a better smog rating than the hah. maybe it could be even better if hybrid technology is applied. -
daryll44 Posts: 306Yup. My original prediction was that true transaction prices (factoring in all rebates and dealer discounts) would be $10,000 below sticker by Xmas...the same price (more or less) discount required to clear out the '05s. Anyone would be a fool to buy an Explorer/Mountaineer NOW. I suppose if gas prices dip to $2 or below (unlikely) prices will hold up. But in the real world the demand for these vehicles is nothing like the demand when gas was half the price just a few years ago. By the way, I spent some time in an L-M showroom yesterday going thru a loaded '06 Mountaineer. What a great vehicle....it was great already but the improvements for '06 make it the finest yet. I'd love to trade my '03 for an '06 but am afraid to commit to 14 MPG again.
daryll44 Posts: 306I know what you are talking about (the "pull up" handle) but it didn't strike me as anything unusual and if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have just thought it just a normal styling variant. But now that you mention it, I guess it is unique!. I did, however, notice that they went with the safety window switches now....you can't accidentally chop someone's fingers (or head!) off by leaning on (what used to be) rocker switches. You must consciously pull up to raise the window(s). Improvement. And the fold-flat, split row, power 3rd row is a MAJOR improvement.
daryll44 Posts: 306My '03 Mountaineer is going to need it's 3rd set of tires soon...probably at about 45,000 miles or maybe 48,000. They came with the Goodrich tires (lasted 23000 miles) and I replaced them with the same. Here in tough, hilly (stop hard and start hard) city driving of Pittsburgh 23000 isn't bad but 30,000 would be closer to average. I got 50,000 out of a set of Michelin LC XT4 (Sears/NTB version) tires on my old 1999 Explorer. That experience made me realize that cost-per-mile the Michelins were probably slightly cheaper, even though the cost per tire was about double (you save the labor and nusance fees for 1 cycle as you twice as long between cycles).
So I was at NTB again today for something else and was looking at tires. I noticed that there are TWO versions of Michelins for SUVs...the "Cross-Terrain" (which I think I also saw on some new Mountaineers on the dealer lot) and the LTX-MS. They no longer carry the LC XT4 tire because that was a Sears version and NTB got sold by Sears. I seem to recall, however, that LTX-MS and LC XT4 were essentially the same tire.
So my obvious question is: What's the difference (ride, longevity, price, other) between the two Michelins? And are both available in my size (standard 17 inch somethingorother Mountaineer factory wheels)?
Any other tire suggestions would be appreciated too. I am figuring on keeping the vehicle another 50,000 (unless I get the itch). -
jefferyg Posts: 418I can't answer your question about the difference between the two Michelins, but I can tell you that I've never gotten less than 60K out of a set of Michelins.
If you're having to replace tires that often you need to have some checking done on your alignment and suspension. The BFGoodrich tires on our Mountaineer are not even close to halfway worn out with 14,000 miles on it. You should have easily gotten 40,000 out of the original tires no matter where you live if you kept them rotated and kept the air pressure up where it's supposed to be. Remember, the 17's are recommended to run 35 psi and they are rated for up to 45. -
daryll44 Posts: 306I know all about it. Actually, the 17s run 30 in the front and 35 in the rear for the 2003 model. I check them religiously every 15th and 30th of the month. And the alignment is always perfect too as I bot the NTB 5 year unlimited thingie. They are worn evenly. I appreciate your input but just don't think you understand Pittsburgh driving.

60K out of tires in Pittsburgh? The tooth fairy? Santa Claus? Honest politicians? -
jefferyg Posts: 418Well, I've never driven in Pittsburg, but I did live in New Orleans for a while and it is the pothole capitol of the world - some were bigger than the 93 Accord we were driving then. And you could make a million with a brake shop there.
I used to work in a tire store when I was in high school and college, and while it was in a small Mississippi town, I know that if anyone had been getting the kind of poor service you're talking about out of any of our tires, they'd have been looking for an adjustment on them.
Now if you're constantly braking hard, turning short at low speeds, or regularly whitesmoking the tires I can see how you may shorten their life expectancy. But you're talking about cutting their life in half. That's just not normal - for anywhere.
One thought I did have - do you regularly operate your vehicle with a heavy load inside? A friend of mine who owned his own tire store told me that he once had a guy who weighed in excess of 350 pounds who kept having problems with the front end alignment on his car. My friend said that after several attempts at correcting the problem he finally thought to have the guy stay in the car while they aligned everything and it worked. -
daryll44 Posts: 306Generally the "heavy load" is my 110 pound wife-driver and my 85 pound 11 year old. Oh, once we hauled two 40 pound bags of mushroom manure. No load isn't the issue. I am telling you, the dealers here all will tell you that it's rare to get more than 30,000 miles out of tires here.
explorerx4 Central CTPosts: 10,001i know that the michelin cross terrains(16 inch) have 2 different versions. one is an oem version(235-70-16) with a 420 treadwear rating. the 245-70-16 version has a 700 treadwear rating. i bought them at the dealer to replace my goodyear ap's, but i had to educate them about this.
maintaining adequate tire pressure and rotations have a lot to do with the life of a tire.

He took me back
Gave me encouragement when I was feeling low.
Helped me pull myself together again by believing in me and treating me with the utmost kindness and gentleness...
Sorry, can't think of anything
there have been several times in my life when someone did something selfless and kind for me... but the one thing i will NEVER forget and always remember like yesterday was this... when i got kicked out of my house at the age of 16 by my sister while my parents were away, i got kicked out without any shoes on my feet and just wearing a tank top and shorts in the middle of winter at like 11 at night... i walked about 40 minutes to get to a building where i knew some friends lived to find a place to sleep.. after about 40 minutes, i still had a good 20 minutes to walk.. i cried the whole time and my feet were bleeding and hurt because i didnt have shoes and i was walking on iced-over gravel (very painful) ... then all of a sudden i felt something touching my shoulders .. a man walked up behind me and was putting his coat over my shoulders without even asking because he saw that i was crying and was not in good condition.. then, again, without asking he picked me up in his arms (my back resting on one arm and my legs on the other) and asked me where i was going.. i told him the building number and without hesitation he carried me for those next 20 minutes all the way to the building and made sure i got inside and had a place to sleep.. the next morning i woke up and found his number in my shorts pocket.. it said the number and also said that if i needed any help to call him.. i dont know his name or who he is.. but he is an angel
Telling me the truth
Gave birth to me.
My wife said yes.

Administrative Assistant Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Coldwell Banker in July 2011.
This position was advertised as part-time, but the number of hours was not included in the job description. I found out on the interview that the position would never exceed 20 hours per week. I was interviewed by the manager and the full-time administrative manager. They were very upfront with what they expected and what they didn't want. They told me that although they have a cleaning team in twice per week they often have to clean. For example, washing the front windows which are covered with listings taped to the window. The tape gets stuck to the windows when they change them (which I assume creates fingerprints) and also need to be cleaned from salt/sand in the winter. They told me not to talk to the agents. They both said given the opportunity the agents will tend to chat, look for sympathy, and occasionally need "a hug"! They asked if I had small children. They don't like the use of sticky notes.

Application DetailsI applied through other source. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Coldwell Banker in June 2007.
Interview DetailsI saw an ad in the local newspaper and faxed my resume to the company. They called me pretty much the next day and asked me to come in for an interview. I was interviewed by 2 department managers first and then by the general manager all on the same day. The department managers asked me "why I want to work for them? and similar questions. It seemed like they didn't have much interviewing experience. The interview with the general manager was a behavioral type interview where I was asked to relate my previous experience in customer service by providing specific examples..

This game is amazing. I haven't lost interest in the Battlefield series for the last 3 years I've been playing. The new frosbite engine is very impressive.
I am lucky enough to be in the beta and I must say I don't think many will be disappointed. Though Gold Rush is the only game type at launch. It's awesome though.
I absolutely cannot wait for this game. Especially since it has an actual campaign to it now. Battlefield 2 is sick, and the online play is awesome, and this game looks to deliver FAR beyond that.
looks sick. you can blow up anything! that is awesome

BATON ROUGE, LA (FOX44) — The Louisiana State Police is working with PAVE, a sexual victim survivor advocacy group, for the second year in a row.
The training seminar focuses on taking a look at different ways victims cope with sexual abuse and how law enforcement and others can stay sensitive to each survivor's needs.
"One of the things that we're looking at today is really how the victim responds," Angela Rose, PAVE Founder, said. "Everybody deals differently with trauma and one of the other messages of today is that there's no shame in being a survivor."
Rose, a survivor of kidnap and sexual violence herself, says it's very important to create awareness about sexual assault, especially in large university-campus communities.

"Clock-clock-clock-clock-KUHwhoomp!" That was the sound of the Biblio-Mat, a one-of-a-kind refrigerator-sized book vending machine, as it dispensed random titles for $2 Canadian. It was tucked into the back of Monkey's Paw, a small rare books shop in Toronto that displayed a collection including, when I browsed there last May, a 1965 shopping directory of India, a pictorial history of the carousel, a volume of "gesture poems" and a 1955 booklet of cake recipes made with the "new Kraft Oil Method".
The vending machine was merely a clever way to sell bargain bin titles, but I've never been more thrilled to receive a book I didn't particularly want. I lugged my heavy, spine-ripped volume of the Romance of Medicine all the way back home and gifted it to my brother-in-law, a doctor.
"Cool," he said after opening it. I told him where and how it was purchased. "Cool," he said again.
I had to agree. As far as Toronto's coolness goes, that's just the start. After all, the definitive, if circular logic of coolness is that cool things don't need to convince anyone. They don't even care. Because they're cool.
That's why Toronto is cool: it has been for a long time, and since it doesn't feel the need to advertise the fact, most of the world doesn't even know. Canada in general is understated in this way; it's not very Canadian to point out one's own awesomeness. Toronto is so cool, it might not even know it is.
"That's a good one!" laughed Monkey's Paw owner, Stephen Fowler, when I asked him about the city's transition to urban hipness. "I first came here [on vacation] from San Francisco, known as a cool city, in 1998," he said. "I was expecting to find the most boring city in North America." Instead, he found it was indeed "cool". Surprised to be proven wrong, he moved to Toronto four years later.
Compared to the architecture and French culture of Montreal or the beauty found surrounding Vancouver, Toronto has never been particularly alluring. Tucked into the northwest corner of Lake Ontario, one of North America's Great Lakes, the charm of Toronto is found in microcosms of hipness: in relaxing coffee houses, arty hotels, eclectic shops and quiet bars. None are obvious. All must be sought out.
After checking into the Drake Hotel, a warren of 19 "dens", "salons", "crash pads" and a single suite, each with a Wes Anderson aesthetic, I found my key didn't work. Back at the front desk – which loans hotel guests indie-rock -loaded iPods and hotel themed DVDs such as Four Rooms, Faulty Towers and Psycho – the front desk clerk gave me a new key, plus a free drink token at the bar. The hotel's Lounge, which staged the Canadian debut of many 1980s punk bands, has a wall piled with old hi-fi stereo equipment and an ambitious drinks menu. I sipped the candy-sweet Deliverance, made with cedar-infused bourbon, apple brandy, Fernet Branco, apple liqueur and (the reason I picked it) Canadian maple syrup. Back in my home of Brooklyn, New York, this combination of highly inventive cocktails and meticulously arranged décor would be fly paper for moustachioed hipsters sporting diminutive hats and tartan vests. Instead, as I sipped my Deliverance, an all-ages, hockey apparel-clad crowd cheered as a game played on a big screen above the fireplace.
My room, decorated with clunky metal chairs and a 1960s-era desk, also came with a "pleasure menu" of erotic toys and films – plus a copy of The World's Coolest Hotel Rooms, which, in a surprising bit of braggadocio, featured the Drake. Less cool about the Drake: walls are thin enough to hear other guests enjoying their orders from the "menu".
Earlier that day, I took a light rail street car across downtown to the Rooster Coffee House, a small space with a communal table serving fresh, filling baked goods – including a drool-worthy blueberry scone – and high-end Intelligentsia coffee in charmingly mismatched mugs. On my commute I passed the TIFF Bell Lightbox, host of the Toronto International Film Festival, famed for picking movies that win Oscars.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

"Why not? Pokemon are allowed to eat too," Luna commented. Bubba nodded happily and clapped like a 'special' Walrein.
"I guess that much is true." Jason nodded his head and looked at the Walrein once more. "Does he usually clap like that though?" He wondered while raising an eyebrow.
"Only on Wednesdays," Luna joked, quoting a starfish from a cartoon show.
"Your Walrein is interesting." Jasin stated before he looked out the glass, allowing him to get a view of the city.
"That's why I love him," Luna commented happily.
"You love Bubba more than me." Jason laughed before taking Luna's chair out to allow her to sit down.
"Bubba is awesome," Luna commented before sitting down.
"I think Mr. Jaws is better." Jason chuckled before seein the waiter walk over for their orders. "You know we should have dates like this more often."
"I know we should," Luna giggled, "But I'm always studying."
"We've got weekends free though." Jason pointed out and smiled at her. "We can help each other so that we can finish faster."
"Yes, but I'm usually so tired that I just want to rest," Luna answered with a sweatdrop.
Jason nodded his head and turned to look at the window. "Hence while I'll help you."he turned back to Luna and smiled at her.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The more Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan watched his team play, the more he realized one thing:
"We needed a rebuild from the ground up," Khan said.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The more Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan watched his team play, the more he realized one thing:
"We needed a rebuild from the ground up," Khan said.
So the Jaguars fired coach Mike Mularkey on Thursday after just one season, the worst in franchise history. The move came 10 days after Khan fired general manager Gene Smith.
Khan also introduced new GM David Caldwell on Thursday, and by parting ways with Mularkey, gave him a clean slate heading into 2013.
"I've always been a part of a winner," said Caldwell, who signed a five-year deal. "I've never been a part of a losing team."
But maybe the biggest news of the day came when Caldwell said New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, a Jacksonville native who starred at nearly Florida, is not in the team's plans.
"I can't imagine a scenario in which he'll be a Jacksonville Jaguar — even if he's released," Caldwell said.
Caldwell took slightly more time to decide on Mularkey.
Mularkey, who went 2-14 this season, became the eighth head coach fired since the end of the regular season. He looked like he would be one and done when Khan parted ways with Smith last week and gave Mularkey's assistants permission to seek other jobs. Even though Khan ultimately hired Mularkey, Smith directed the coaching search last January that started and ended with the former Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator.
"I felt like we needed a fresh start here," Caldwell said. "Coming in here as a first-time general manager, I'm looking for a co-builder of our team. When I talked to Shad in terms of a culture change along the football side, I felt like it was more of that. I felt like it was an atmosphere of change. I felt like that to do that, you've got to have a fresh start across the board."
Mularkey's brief tenure — he didn't even last a year — was filled with mistakes. His biggest one may have been his loyalty to Smith, who assembled a roster that lacked talent on both sides of the ball.
Mularkey probably stuck with Smith's franchise quarterback, Blaine Gabbert, longer than he should have. And the coach's insistence that the team was closer than outsiders thought and his strong stance that he had the roster to turn things around became comical as the losses mounted. The Jaguars lost eight games by at least 16 points, a staggering number of lopsided losses in a parity-filled league.
Mularkey would have been better served had he said publicly what he voiced privately: that the Jaguars didn't have enough playmakers or a starting-caliber quarterback.

The concept behind the Electrolux SmartPlate might sound remarkably futuristic, so perhaps it would surprise you to learn that other contemporary creative professionals have also been designing to this tune. This cutting-edge piece of crockery introduces the sense of hearing into the experience of eating, and it does so in an incredibly hi-tech way.
With its circular recess, the squared plate is divided into three sections by a digital interface with sensors. Once your supper has been served into the salver, the system detects the ingredients and their flavors that are present, analyzing them and translating them into unique noises. A beautifully balanced meal might strike a glorious auditory harmony, made up of a symphony of savors-turned-notes. Julian Caraulani 's Electrolux SmartPlate is even integrated with a multimedia smartphone app so you can interact with your musical meal.
